Monday Musings No. 185
Good morning friends, happy Monday to you. It’s the last week of August and it will also Labor Day weekend, in my books the last weekend of summer. I know Summer officially ends on September 22nd but for whatever reason my mind computes the seasons as it did as a child in school, that means summer is over when the kids are back at school.
The weekend was perfect, a little gray on Saturday gave is the perfect excuse to stay in and do a few projects. Then Sunday after church, lunch with my sister and the a few hours at the pool. The water was cold, probably because the temperatures have been slowly going down overnight. Fall is on its way.
I’ve got a busy week, a dentist appointment, a birthday, an appointment with the wallpaper installer, the temporary installation of the master bedroom drapes(it’s a long story) and then a fun weekend.
Tell me about your weekend? What did you do? Do you have plans for Labor Day weekend?
On to +5 Things!
1.Read~The Impulse Purchase
Sometimes you have to let your heart rule your head . . .
Cherry, Maggie and Rose are mother, daughter and granddaughter, each with their own hopes, dreams and even sorrows. They have always been close, so when, in a moment of impulse, Cherry buys a gorgeous but rundown pub in the village she grew up in, it soon becomes a family affair.
All three women uproot themselves and move to Rushbrook, deep in the heart of Somerset, to take over The Swan and restore it to its former glory. Cherry is at the helm, Maggie is in charge of the kitchen, and Rose tends the picturesque garden that leads down to the river.
Before long, the locals are delighted to find the beating heart of the village is back, bringing all kinds of surprises through the door.
Could Cherry’s impulse purchase change all their lives – and bring everyone the happiness they’re searching for?
Escape to the glorious Somerset countryside with this joyful and uplifting story of family, love and hope.
